Winter

The Mitten and winter preschool and kindergarten activities, lessons, crafts, and games. Jan Brett's wonderful adaption of the Ukrainian Folktale "The Mitten" makes a great base for a unit on mittens to use during the winter months with your preschool and kindergarten children. Our fun activities will help you to teach and your children practice and learn math and language arts concepts and make fun mitten and winter inspired arts and craft projects.

Preschool and Kindergarten Snowman Activities, Crafts, Games, and Printables. The snowman is often considered a symbol of winter. By definition, a snowman is "snow shaped to resemble a human figure," but not every culture creates snowmen in the same way. People in western cultures usually build three-tiered snowmen, but did you know that in most Asian cultures, most snowmen are usually constructed of two tires?

Winter activities, crafts, lessons, games, booklets, and printables for preschool and kindergarten. Brrr! Winter is the coldest season of the year. It's a time for children to enjoy outdoor activities like ice skating, sledding, and building snowmen or indoor activities like making craft projects, curling up with a book by a toasty fire, baking gingerbread man cookies, or going to see a good movie like Happy Feet, an uplifting story about a tap-dancing penguin named Mumble. Give winter boredom the boot and explore the winter season with your children.

Calendar Preschool and Kindergarten Activities and Printables. Every year the earth rotates one time around the sun. Help children learn about the organization of this time into days, weeks, and months with this theme on the calendar. Fun preschool activities and ideas to incorporate into morning circle time, songs, movement, literacy activities, and games are all included. Children can graph birthday months, make word wheels, learn about ordinal numbers, sequence the days of the week, and more.
